Use Toothpaste for Pimples
Use toothpaste for pimples? Toothpaste on pimples: toothpaste works! Here’s why and how to use toothpaste for your pimples.
Pimples are without doubt one of the most common annoyances. They seem to appear out of nowhere, and take forever to go away. What should you do if you spot yet another pimple appearing, and how do you prevent pimple breakouts? Does toothpaste work?
Homemade Pimple Treatment
Many experiments have found that toothpaste is an excellent homemade pimple treatment. Why?
Anti-inflammatory and antiseptic agents
Toothpaste contains many anti-inflammatory agents that work well against most types of acne. This depends on the cause of your pimple outbreak. If it is largely due to stress, hormonal changes or pregnancy, toothpaste will not be effective.
Toothpaste on Pimples
How do you use toothpaste on pimples? Step-by-step instructions:
- First, use a cleanser to clean your face and remove all possible irritants.
- Make sure your fingers are clean
- Apply a little toothpaste on the pimple
- Wash off the toothpaste after half to one hour if you have dry skin – Toothpaste is a drying agent, so it will leave your skin itchy and dry if you leave it on over the night. For best results, wash off the toothpaste after an hour or so.
Toothpaste for Pimples
Beside toothpaste for pimples, here are two acne home remedy tips that will come in very handy.
Avoid rapid changes in temperature
That is, avoid all the ‘pimple treatments’ that require you to steam your face or place an ice cube on your pimple. That would only increase the chances of inflammation.
Sun exposure does not necessarily help
Sun exposure does not necessarily help to improve acne, as pimple outbreaks are usually most common in summer.
